Grain & Grill is the restaurant at Maldron Hotel Croke Park on Clonliffe Road, directly opposite Croke Park in Dublin 3. Its location makes it particularly convenient for anyone heading to a match, concert or other event at the stadium, but the restaurant is open to non-hotel guests too. The focus is on relaxed all-day dining, with a menu built around locally sourced ingredients, modern Irish dishes and generous classics.
The food is deliberately approachable, with the sort of broad choice that works for groups with different tastes. The restaurant's menus change, but the overall approach is centred on familiar Irish and contemporary dishes rather than a highly formal dining experience. There are options for different dietary requirements, while the hotel also provides a dedicated Vitality Breakfast with both traditional cooked and lighter choices.
Grain & Grill forms part of the hotel's wider food and drink offering, alongside its bar and Red Bean Roastery coffee counter. The restaurant is designed as an easygoing place to settle in for a meal, while the bar provides a more informal option for drinks and casual bites. The hotel's location opposite Croke Park makes the restaurant particularly useful around major sporting and entertainment events, when the hotel also puts on outdoor food and bar offerings.
The restaurant's straightforward format makes it suitable for families, groups and casual meals, as well as for diners staying at the hotel. It can also be a practical choice before or after an event at Croke Park, when its location means there's no need to travel far for food.
